The Titanfall beta was great fun - it captured the fast paced adrenaline fueled environment of Call of Duty and banked on it by including jetpacks, parkour, and crazy giant mechs. And, despite previous concerns, the AI in the game work really well, too.

A lot of the people I've spoken to that have also experienced the Titanfall beta have stated that they really enjoyed the game too, but there was one thing that didn't come up in our conversations.

What I'm talking about is replay value - in the beta, there were just two levels, and two standard Titans. Players could only level up to rank 14, and there was a very limited weapon customization system. I was worried that Titanfall could get boring really quickly, and without any idea of what content the game could offer, I can't be the only one that has wondered whether Titanfall would be worth buying at launch.

Luckily, a lot of information has leaked, and we can get a great idea of what content we can expect. Firstly, as previously rumored, there will likely be 14 different maps at launch; a massive jump up from just the two in the beta.

There have also been picture leaks of a few more primary and secondary weapons. The roster isn't huge, but on top of the five beta primaries, and two beta secondaries, there will be a C.A.R SMG, two new rifles; the G2A4 Rifle & Hemlock BF-R, a more powerful sniper, and the Spitfire LMG. There will also be a revolver-like sidearm.

God of War PS3 Bundle

If you haven't got your hands on God of War Ascension yet, then there may be a deal that could really appeal to you, especially if you're a fan of the series. Sony has teamed up with the devs behind the PlayStation exclusive to bring out a special limited edition PlayStation 3 with God of War skins on dual shock 3 controller included in the bundle.

Obviously, the bundle includes a copy of God of War itself, and in fact the bundle includes the special edition version of God of War Ascension.

The console model is a classic white super slim PS3 with a 500GB hard drive, and the controller has a design similar to the God of War Ascension boxset art. The bundle itself costs Â£249.99, and at the moment is only available in Europe, however translated to US dollars, it would set you back around $375 for the bundle, and also any additional shipping costs that may occur to get the bundle into the States and on your front door step.

If you didn't know already, the special edition of God of War Ascension includes a multiplayer double XP unlock, an exclusive PS3 dynamic theme, and a PlayStation 3 avatar, as well as the audio soundtrack, all packaged in a pretty impressive steelbook case.

There has also been news of a God of War bundle including a garnet red PS3 hitting shelves in the United States, however it seems unlikely that the controller will be included.

New Dishonored DLC

A new downloadable content pack for Dishonored has been announced, and its release date is slated for April 16th 2013.

The new DLC has been named the Knife of Dunwall and will be the second DLC pack for Dishonored, adding more content onto the base gameplay.

In the Knife of Dunwall, players will play as the fiends that made acquaintance with the protagonist earlier in the game in his quest for revenge. You'll play specifically as an assassin named Daud as he seeks forgiveness for his evil actions, taking the game to brand new locations, filled with new enemies, environments and objectives, as well as a whole host of new skills to use whilst playing as Daud.

I for one am looking forward to the new DLC and I'm happy that the developers have been creative by adding a new plotline with brand new scenery, enemies and skills, instead of just adding new missions to the main story.

The Knife of Dunwall will be available for around $10, or Xbox Live's equivalent in Microsoft Points on the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

The PS3 release will make it a day later than the April 16th release for the PC and Xbox version, however it will still land without missing out on any features included in the PC and 360 versions.

New Assassins' Creed DLC

Ubisoft has recently revealed a trailer that shows Assassins' Creed in all its nature.

The new trailer shows off Ratonhnhake:ton and his new eagle abilities which will be usable in the new downloadable content pack.

At first I thought it a bit strange to see the assassin character transform into a ghost bird, but it's important to remember that the world you play in in Assassins' Creed 3 is in fact a virtual reality, meaning anything is quite possible.

I still personally think things like this, and the previous invisibility cloak almost ruin the immersion of the game, and I'd prefer to stick to a game that is more relatable to real life.

The new DLC pack has been named The Tyranny of King Washington: The Betrayal, and currently prices for the pack haven't been announced, however the trailer does show that the new DLC is available for free to all of those who have purchased the season pass.

Metal Gear Rising Free DLC

We all know the devs behind the Metal Gear games have always had a strong relationship with Sony and PlayStation, and it's only been till recently that they've given up their exclusivity and offered the game on platforms other than the PlayStation.

However, a new move by Konami has shown that their bond with the PlayStation platform is strong, which sees Sony offering DLC for free for a limited period of time.

The recently released VR Missions pack adds 30 missions to the game, and although it had a pretty low price before in terms of downloadable content, it is now accessible for free from the PlayStation network till April 2nd.

The VR Missions pack is still only available as a purchase on Xbox Live, and will cost Xbox players 240 Microsoft Points.

It's still cheap, but it makes you wonder what is going on behind the scenes with Sony and Konami.

Two other DLC packs will also be added this April, with information straight from Konami telling us that one DLC pack will focus on Sam, whilst the other will focus on the Blade Wolf character.

"The first DLC pack, Jetstream, will be a side story featuring Sam as a playable character. The second pack, Blade Wolf, will allow players to control the enigmatic Blade Wolf and will showcase his side story. Both DLC packs will feature multiple hours of gameplay including unique abilities and characteristics for each character, while also expanding on each of their storylines and origins."

Do you think console exclusives should still be released? Or do you think developers should work on bringing their games to as many platforms as possible?

Metal Gear 5 Will Be More open-world

According to Kojimi, Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes will be revealed at GDC, giving us all more information on the game.

Although GDC is now less than two weeks away, those impatient can still find out a bit of information on the new Metal Gear Solid from an interview with Kojima from PlayStation.

The first thing that really interested me was that Kojima hopes for Ground Zeroes to be an immersive open world experience, and in fact, all his previous games he had hoped to create an open world environment, but due to the limit in hardware capabilities in the PlayStation 1, he has stuck to a leveled environment instead.

It looks like Ground Zeroes may be different though, and Kojima has in his interview, "As far as stealth is concerned, you don't normally just start in a building. If you look at spy and action movies, how the hero gets to that point is a very important part of the story and part of the action. Do they get there by plane or by some sort of disguise? There are many ways you can approach that element of infiltration."

"My ultimate goal is to give players even more freedom," he explains, "not only to figure out how they're going to get there but really have everything factor into it. So, do you want to get there by helicopter, or do you want to get there by plane, are you going to ride in a vehicle, or are you going to take a bike? Basically have all of these options available to the player."

By opening multiple possible routes of action into the missions in Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes, you're immediately giving the player more freedom, which for me will make or break a stealth game.

I'm really excited to see how 'open-world' the new Metal Gear Solid will be, but either way, I know it's going to be a great game.

Currently, release details are not known, so it'll be interesting to see which consoles the game releases on.

New Turtle Beach Hardware

Turtle Beach has long been a well-known sponsor for many MLG players and leagues, and when crystal clear communication is relied on heavily in competitive team-based games, it makes sense that Turtle Beach would take the opportunity to flaunt their gear.

This year Turtle Beach aren't just flaunting their already released gear though, as they have announced a new range of headsets which will all reach the shelves later this year.

The new headsets have been named the P SEVEN for console, PC and Mac gamers, the Z SEVEN for just PC and Mac gamers, and the PX22 Universal Headset for PC and Mac gamers.

The two SEVEN headsets feature a removable microphone, an optional in-line microphone, and lay-flat ear cups. You can change the headset setting to PC, Mac or Xbox 360, and quickly switch between the different options with ease.

The other headset hasn't been given much information on, but one other piece of hardware has been announced as well, which helps Turtle Beach owners communicate. The TM1 is a 6-channel audio mixer that allows communication for up to six players on the same team, or two teams of three players.

These top of the range products don't come without top of the range prices though, so for those with small budgets, or those who can't get sponsored to get products for free, you may struggle to get your hand on a pair of Turtle Beaches.

The pricing for the new hardware is as follows:

XP SEVEN-MSRP $279.95

Z SEVEN-MSRP $249.95

PX22 Universal Headset-MSRP $79.95

TM1 6-Channel Tournament and Broadcast Mixer-MSRP $249.95

What are your opinions on the new Turtle Beach hardware? Will you be getting any later this year? Check out our custom ps3 controllers while you wait for the unveil of the headsets!

Battlefield reveal at GDC

Despite the fact that it hasn't even been that long since EA announced DICE were working on Battlefield 4, it seems like the developers of the game have now confirmed an earlier rumor stating that the game was going to be revealed at GDC this year, on March 26th.

Although I doubt we'll see more than a cinematic trailer and hear a little bit whilst developers talk about the game, some key details on Battlefield 4 may be released, including what platforms the game will be playable on, as well as what generation. First guess is to expect that the next Battlefield title will be available for next-gen consoles, but unless Microsoft reveal the next Xbox before March 26th, it'd be strange to see Battlefield 4 announced for next gen consoles, and a Sony only release is highly unlikely.

A current generation release seems a little strange as well, and I think that DICE would do a good job at being the first to get an AAA shooter onto the next gen.

In other news, box art has been spread around the internet, and although there is no proof that it is real, it certainly fits the style of previous DICE battlefield box arts, and the image can be seen above. Do you think this could be the real box art or just a well-designed fake?

Saints Row 4 Releasing on August 20th

When the GTA 5 reveal trailer landed, we all had expected it, but just like previous Rockstar games we've had to wait a pretty long time and the game still hasn't hit the shelves. However, a similar game has popped up that no one expected so soon, and that's Saints Row 4.

It seems the devs behind the fourth Saints Row have decided to stick a launch right before GTA 5 in an attempt to grab a fair amount of Rockstar's fanbase, and after the release date reschedule for Grand Theft Auto 5, it'd make sense that impatient fans would want to get to play an open world game whilst waiting for the fifth installment of GTA, even if the releases were only a month apart.

There's no doubt that the Saints Row series is a good one though, so I'm glad Saints Row 4 has some time to shine before Grand Theft Auto 5 steps in.

So far, we don't really know much, about the game, however more details are getting released quite often, some of which sounds quite promising.

Patriots, Saviors, Saints - The presidency is not without its perks. Wield the most outrageous arsenal in Saints Row history. This is what the Second Amendment was meant for.

What is the Simulation? - Bend the world to your will and harness an array of super powers including Mind-Bending Telekinesis, Really Really High Jump, Really Really Fast Sprint, Shiny Blue Force Shield, and Sparkly Purple Fireball Projectile-of-Doom.

Vehicular Manslaughter - Command a fleet of American made tanks, jets and attack choppers or hijack mechs, jet bikes and interstellar ships from an alien armada - it's all science, with just a little fiction.

Streaker of the House - Be the leader you were born to be with Initiation Station 2.0. Save the world as an overweight ninja cheerleader or as hulking brute in a three-piece suit with a penchant for pony tails.

Friends with Benefits - Seamless drop-in, drop-out co-op, a Saints Row standard, improved. The only thing better than one malicious super-powered President is two.

Battlefield 4 Tease

Recently, DICE released a short clip that comes straight from their newest Battlefield 4 trailer that will be released on March 27.

The clip shows gears turning with the ominous sound of heavy machinery that could either be a tank or maybe even a helicopter.

Now, Electronic Arts features a track record of putting downloadable content in almost every game that they publish. We believe that Battlefield 4 will not be an exception.

Battlefield 3 featured 5 DLC packs that included everything from new vehicles to weapons and even new maps. The first DLC pack was released on Dec. 13, 2011 and the last one will release March 19, 2013.

Along with these DLC packs EA also came out with the Online Pass. The Online Pass prohibited used game buyers from being able to go online and play for free. A used player would have to, instead, buy the used game and then pay for an Online Pass.

All of these features, either good or bad, it seems like they will make a comeback in the next Battlefield.

What do you think the trailer will look like? Do you think the new game will have feature a different Frostbite engine? Will it be a next-gen game?
